Ooooh boy. I was in the central Adirondacks two weeks ago and they told me that they were hoping for this.
Ocean Surface Temps Not Warm Enough for El Nino; A Brutal Winter on the Way

Good news for winter lovers and ice fishermen: It seems that ocean surface temperatures aren’t pointing toward a favorable El Nino this coming winter, which could have a significant impact on the weather in the Great Lakes region.
El Nino is a condition where a band of warm ocean water develops in the Pacific, right along the Equator.
However, as MLive reports, things aren’t exactly adding up for strong El Nino conditions this season, and that means a brutally cold winter could be lurking in the coming months.
Take a look at the snapshot from NOAA below, and you’ll notice the cooler temperatures being reported out of the southeast Pacific:

Huh? I thought most of the global warming hype was based on ocean surface temperatures rising? This makes it sound like they are cooling down.
Maybe the supposed temp change we are seeing has more to do with where they place the land based temperature monitors.

The lowering of the temperatures is due to the Delaware sized ice shelf that broke off of Antarctica and will also raise sea levels even though it was already floating.
